Chapter 178 Just in Time!

it all, wanting only to protect my younger brother until he grew up. 。Grandma also started scolding her younger son, and I wanted to protect him but couldn't. 。She choked back sobs, tears streaming d...In the valley, there was a flurry of activity. Jia Yin wasn't idle either. After transplanting the watermelon seedlings from the space's nursery, she planted cantaloupe seeds.

To be honest, she didn't expect it to sprout. After all, the watermelon seeds were from years ago, when she had tossed them against the wall. They were shriveled and looked nothing like seeds. She just threw them into the seedling bed out of curiosity.

Unexpectedly, the magical nursery once again showered her with its abundant love.

On the riverbank, melons were planted first, then peanuts, and finally sweet potatoes. There were four or five acres left over, which were just enough for planting cantaloupes.

With Young Master Youye's name, no one in the village found anything amiss. They all served him with utmost care, even for the arduous tasks of building the mountain valley and the new village. Not a single wild weed dared to grow in the melon field.

The nursery is now filled with a variety of flower seedlings. There are petunias, chrysanthemums, cockscombs, and even bougainvillea. They aren't particularly rare varieties, but they are beautiful and easy to care for.

In her past life, she collected these flower seeds intending to decorate her courtyard. However, she was too lazy and put them aside. Unexpectedly, they have come in handy now.

Especially the hibiscus, plant it, and in two or three years it will be acclimated.

With a long blooming period and abundant flowers, it looks like a wall of flowers from afar.

If it were planted on a hillside beside a hot spring, complete with a waterfall, it would be absolutely stunning.

That night, Dongmei went to the valley again as easily as she had done before.

Early in the morning, people had an extra job: planting flowers!

The scarlet godetia is rare, the chrysanthemum shines brightly yellow, and the red of the cockscomb is dazzling. All who see them are delighted.

Mr. Yan went all over the mountains and valleys, urging everyone to plant everywhere.

Upon closer inspection, the mountains and valleys were imbued with even more beauty and vibrancy.

The second day, the stone tablet was also finished.

The front side was engraved with the three large characters "Suijin Beach." Below it, there was a statement expressing gratitude to the imperial court for bestowing such a precious land. The back side listed Zhou's and Gongzi's names, as well as those of many artisans, all neatly and clearly inscribed.

Even though all the craftsmen had already received their payment, they still came back to touch the stone tablet.

The villagers prepared food and drinks with all their might, treating them to a feast as a thank you dinner.

The craftsmen were all half-drunk. They knew that in the past, if they did their work well, it was expected of them. If they made a mistake, they would be scolded and have their wages deducted.

Such an opportunity to be respected, even immortalized in stone and renowned throughout the land, is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Young Master Yan had also had too much to drink. He climbed onto the carriage, insisting on returning to the city. Who knows, perhaps he was going back to show off to his family

The valley was completely sealed off, waiting only for the new village to relocate before it could open.

In recent days, several people have already placed deposits and plan to visit on the first day.

All four small courtyards and twelve wooden houses in the Hot Spring Valley were booked.

The villagers were absolutely ecstatic, they could practically see the food and silver pouring into their pockets.

Besides their other duties, the housewives also had a major task: needlework.

Although guests who come to visit will bring their own luggage, it's good to be prepared in case someone hasn't. Also have various cushions, tatami mats, simple items, and tea sets, etc.

But what kept everyone busier was the warm hospitality banquet scheduled for tomorrow.

Mrs. Cui had someone specially buy a pig and twenty altar jars of wine as a congratulatory gift for her new home.

The villagers were both delighted and amused, because Mrs. Choi's yard was also newly moved! This was a gift she gave herself.

But when it comes to family, dwelling on trivial matters is like creating distance between yourselves.

So, the village head accepted it. As for the rest, there was no need for Mrs. Cui to make any arrangements. She only needed to invite the guests.

Mrs. Cui had no parents or relatives, so she only wrote a notice and invited Mr. Liu and his son Liu Zhiheng.

After all, she planned to live here permanently. Thinking that they could come and visit, naturally made her feel more at ease.

As for Mr. Wen, he's family, so there's no need to invite him.

Even Mr. Wen went out to invite Zhou Da and several of his subordinates, who were all those who had helped measure the valley back then.

Besides, the village heads of Dahuai Tree Village and Xiaowang Village should not be overlooked either.

With so much effort, we actually have two tables for our honored guests.

The village head spoke, the feast was held at Li's house. Firstly, it was spacious; secondly, it showed face; thirdly, it also demonstrated to everyone that Li's family would be the leader of the new village.

Li Laotai didn't refuse either, after all, Li Laoer would take over as village head in the future, so it was just an early adjustment.

The next day, before dawn broke, the heads of each household moved the iron pots they had left outside their doors into the kitchens. This symbolized their complete move into the new home and the beginning of a new life.

The Li family was large, with two large pots and two smaller ones. There were four burners on the stove, and it took quite a while for everyone to get settled.

The fat pig that Mrs. Cui bought was thrown onto the chopping board outside the Li family's gate, waiting for the white knife to go in and the red knife to come out, offering its fatty flesh to add flavor to the housewarming feast.

The mischievous boy never tells the truth. Who knows, maybe he even pulled a branch to poke the fat pig's belly.

A fat pig got up and, with a rope in its hand, stumbled and ran.

The mischievous boys screamed in fright and chased after them, but they couldn't catch up. When the adults heard the commotion and came out, they were furious and scolded them.

Luckily, a group of about twenty to thirty people ran over from afar.

That was Ye Gongzi, right there. He drew his long sword and with a single bend of his waist, the scabbard struck the fat pig's head. The pig let out a squeal and fainted.

The mischievous boys couldn't help but cheer, and the villagers all laughed.

"The Lord is back!"

"Young Master Ye is back!"

Soon, the elderly and women also ran out, each with a smile on their face.

Ye Gongzi, covered in dust and weariness, was instantly melted by these sincere smiles.

Jia Yin was so excited that she clapped her hands and shouted, "Uncle, Uncle Ye!"

Young Master Ye also wanted to hug her, but he was afraid that the smell of blood on his body hadn't dissipated and would bring something bad.

So, he gently rubbed the little girl's head and said to the village head and others, "Are you having a housewarming feast at your place"

"Indeed, Young Master Ye. I thought you wouldn't make it in time, but here you are just as we needed."

"Let's kill a pig today, young master. Stay and eat the meat before returning to Kyoto!"

"Master, your courtyard is all tidied up. It would be even better if you stayed for a few more nights before leaving!"

A cacophony of voices filled the air as everyone pleaded with him to stay.

Young Master Ye then said, "Then I'll go take a wash and change my clothes. Let's celebrate today, and enter the capital tomorrow!"

"Good, good, young master go to the valley to wash hot springs! The valley is all set up, like a fairyland!"

The village head personally led Young Master Ye and the others to the valley, just like a child showing off toys to his parents, which made everyone laugh.

By the time Young Master Ye and his companions returned, the pig had already been slaughtered and was in the pot, and the chicken and fish were also stewing.

Guests from all over came, the village heads of Da Huai Shu and Xiao Wang each brought a chicken and a basket of vegetables – this was a very heavy gift in the countryside.

Mr. Wen arrived with Zhou and his associates. Zhou and his subordinates pooled their money to buy a lot of cotton and fine cloth, which was exactly what the village needed now.

When Mr. Liu and his son, Liu Ziheng, arrived, they were immediately sent off with an extra carriage and two hundred jin of fine grain and two hundred jin of coarse grain.

It wasn't valuable, but it was the most affordable, and everyone in the village happily received it.

Before the feast began, everyone went to play in the valley.

Looking at the valley that had changed so dramatically, everyone was full of admiration.

It was then that Mr. Zhou thought of his younger brother being mistreated and humiliated at home. He, for the first time, felt he should speak up for his brother.

Three hundred and sixty lines, every line is a champion, reading is really not the only way out.

Just as things were getting lively, a carriage arrived in the valley. It was Mr. Guo leading his nephew, Guo Qing.

Seeing them arrive unannounced, some were surprised, but they quickly welcomed them.
